| Abstract | The conversion of chemical to electrical signals by the AMPA receptors is the key step by which these proteins control cognitive and motor responses. Here, we have used luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) to gain insight into the conformational changes induced by glutamate binding in the agonist-binding domain in functional AMPA receptors expressed in oocytes and HEK-293 cells. The LRET-based distances indicate that the interface between the upper lobes of the agonist-binding domain within a dimer is in a decoupled state in the unligated Apo state of the receptor. Agonist binding results in the formation of the dimer interface in the open-channel form of the receptor. In the continued presence of glutamate when the receptor is primarily in the desensitized state, the dimer interface is decoupled, confirming that the decoupling of the dimer interface leads to channel closure. The LRET distances also indicate that the dimer interface is preformed before activation in the L484Y mutation and also is formed in the antagonist (ZK200775)-bound form of the AMPA receptor. These results suggests that, although the preformation of the interface is not sufficient to drive channel activation, it could play a role in the energetics of activation and hence modulation of the receptor by auxiliary proteins or small molecules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
